Magic vs Knicks

• Location: Madison Square Garden (New York, New York) | Date: Tuesday, December 6
• Where to Watch: TNT | Time: 7:30 PM ET
• Spread: Knicks -4.5, Moneyline: Knicks -196, Total: 215

Magic vs Knicks Best Bet: Magic +4.5

The Magic enter this matchup as underdogs despite being one of the hottest teams in the league over the last week. Orlando is well-coached, and their gritty defense can turn any game upside down in a hurry. Against a Knicks team that prides itself on tough defense, this game could come down to the final shot. While the Magic may not be able to steal another win on the road, it won’t be a shock to see them lose by less than five points.

Magic vs Knicks Best Total Bet: Under 215

As mentioned, both of these teams play tough-nosed defense and make it a point to challenge the opposing team’s offense at all times. This game could be the definition of a dogfight with a low-scoring spout. A final score of 105-101 could be a realistic outcome.

Magic Best Player Bet: Franz Wagner 6+ Rebounds +100

Franz Wagner has emerged as a big time player this season, especially during the absence of Banchero. The Michigan product has been one of the most consistent scorers on the team, and his playmaking ability has opened people’s eyes. However, one area of the game that Wagner has been underrated at is how hard he’s crashed the boards this season. The 23-year-old has grabbed 6+ rebounds in five of the team’s last seven games. And Wagner has a good chance to finish another night with six or more rebounds.

Knicks Best Player Bet: Karl-Anthony Towns 3+ Made Threes +170

Karl-Anthony Towns has proven to be one of the best big men in the league since his rookie season. The Kentucky alum has shown off his versatile game, and the biggest thing that stands out is his deep range beyond the three-point line. Towns has struggled over the past couple of games, but with the volume he shoots the three ball and his 45.5% shooting from three, it won’t be a surprise to see the Knicks center knock down three or more shots from deep tonight.
